"You Can't Look Back" - Taking Back Sunday, Single Review

Released today, "You Can't Look Back" is the new single by Taking Back Sunday. It is featured on their upcoming album, "Tidal Wave" which is expected to be released on 16th September.

It hasn't been out for 24 hours yet, but this track has already generated a lot of media attention and buzz in preparation for the next album.

"You Can't Look Back" sees the band going back to their roots, sounding relatively similar to "You Know How I Do" (the first track of their debut album, "Tell All Your Friends" of 2002). The track is upbeat and is a fun listen. With elements of acoustic guitar as well as a solid bass line throughout - this track delivers an excellent musical quality. It hits a slight rift about 3 quarters of the way through where the standard dips slightly but it quickly picks it up again and concludes as a very good song.

The two tracks that have been released so far from "Tidal Wave" are as brilliant as each other which leaves great expectations for the album.

Rating: 7.5/10
